It's too early to predict what the weather will be like for Monday night's Bears-Vikings game, but a nice snowstorm might be what the Bears need to slow down Brett Favre.
The last time the legendary quarterback visited Soldier Field was Dec. 23, 2007, when Favre's Packers got stomped in the Bears' 35-7 win. Favre's quarterback rating on the frigid day was 40.2. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher picked off Favre and returned it 85 yards for a touchdown.

With Favre bring his Vikings to town, Lovie Smith was asked if he might
go George Halas and turn off the heat in the opponent's locker room.
"We'll do whatever we need to do to try to get a win,'' Smith responded. "But he's played in the cold weather before. There's not many things he hasn't seen. That was a cold day the last time he came here. It was cold for everyone. Hopefully we will have some more of that weather. It should be a great game. It's always good games when you go against a guy like him along with their team."
